    Ruby has got to be one of the weakest tracks I've heard in a while. This band has potential but they still haven't achieved it.

    Disappointing follow up. Same sound but washed out without the hooks. Oh well.

    Kaiser Chiefs sounds like they were listened up to old Duran Duran´s records day after day... From New York Doll´s freshness of their debut to these pop songs... there are a lot of difference. I think they had chosen the wrong way, of course.

    An album full of jukebox hits. [Mar 2007, p.98]

    Their second album manages to be full of surprises, while never straying too far from what you'd expect. [Mar 2007, p.80]
  3. Although the tunes have plenty of vigour and aggression, as with Employment, Britpop veterans will feel more than a little sense of deja vu.
